ST. PAUL, Minn. – Attorney General Keith Ellison and Republican challenger Jim Schultz clashed Sunday night, likely their last debate before the election, in a face-off sponsored by KSTP and the Minnesota Broadcasters Association.
Schultz said, “Unfortunately we have in Keith Ellison a man who is extreme. He backed defunding and dismantling Minnesota’s largest police force.”
Ellison says he “came through” for justice, successfully prosecuting Derek Chauvin for murdering George Floyd. And on another important issue, he said “I’m the one who’s gonna protect your right to legal, safe abortion. He will attack that right.”
Schultz responded that lawmakers, not the attorney general set policy on abortion.
